253. What I'm Up To 'Wednesday'

Hair.

I've adjusted and I love the lighter color in my hair. The bangs are agreeing with me (*cue a "Sh*t Fashion Girls Say" moment.."I hate my bangs!") and despite the unattractively angled photo taken below (hello chin and nose!) all is well in the world of hair. It's just highlights have also highlighted how fast my hair grows. I put in this color on January 6th. It's January 25th. That's new growth in three weeks.

Gelish manicures.

After a time away from gel manicures, I've gone back to the relationship I had with two week manicures. On my nails at the moment are Gelish "Pink Smoothie," and I love it. I've found OPI Axxuim chips within days and I've found Shellac isn't as shiny. Gelish has proven, at times, to even be a three week manicure.

and Exercising Outside.

The winter has been as mild and you will hear no complaining from me. Besides a few thunder storms, it's been 65 degrees and sunny. Nick and I went running last night and we did the hike at Stone Mountain this past weekend. As you can see from the photos below, not a cloud in the sky.

252. Golden Globes 2012 Red Carpet Favorites!

Let's be real, who really cares for the actual award ceremony, right?
(Or maybe it's me who's really that um..vain)
I really just love to watch to 'Ooh' and 'Awe' over the dresses, the hair, the make-up and see Channing Tatum in a tux.

To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of all what I saw on the red carpet arrivals but there were a few looks that absolutely blew me away.



My absolute #1 look was Kate Beckinsale


My good God, she takes the whole show here.
(I would have hated to have followed her on the carpet)




My #2 favorite look was Sofia Vergara.


I love her, I love this dress. I love her in this dress! Very simple, clean and elegant.



And lastly, and this was a definite last because the front of this dress does absolutely nothing for her, is Jessica Biel. The second she turned and showed us the back, I had to acknowledge her. She's a gorgeous, gorgeous girl and the dress does absolutely nothing for her but the detailing, the construction and the draping in the back deserves honorable mention.

Who were a few of your favorites? Do you watch for the clothes or the show or a little of both?

251. Happy Friday the 13th!

Happy Friday (the 13th!)

Well, I made it through the first unlucky day of the year and I made it through just fine. In fact, it's been a great first full week of the year. Like all the rest of the "resolutioners," I've been sticking to my yoga schedule and running schedule. I'm not sure if I'm learning to relax as much as I have resolved to do within this first week but I will readily admit that on the days I complete a yoga session, I sleep so much better.

Moving on, this past week, I changed the hair up a little, added bangs and a went a little lighter in color. I'm unsure of why it looks red on the left as it's definitely a caramel-honey blond that I had weaved through it. I'm still debating how much I like myself a little lighter but it's a fun change up for now!

(Very pensive faces I am making here)

Ended the day watching a really pretty sunset from the comforts of my sofa...

...and spent date night playing the board game "Logos" and drinking Trader Joe's wine with Nick. (We're uh..super..cool..)
(Or just prepping for application to be admitted into an active senior living center, see that space heater next to our fireplace?) (Yes, NEXT to the fireplace?)

Happy weekend to you all!
